Armor Review: Armstreet Brigandine - The Common Man's Plate

After the Last Battle by Matthew Moss https://amzn.to/2P4rXW9 https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/afte... https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/afte... The brigandine / coat of plates reproduction in this video https://armstreet.com/store/armor/med... This is an interesting type of armor, basically the footsoldier's cheaper alternative to a plate harness. It's not very heavy and provides excellent protection, and it doesn't need to be perfectly fitted to the wearer the way that a knight's suit of armor does. This is also the closest historical equivalent to what is referred to as splint / splinted armor in roleplaying games.
